LightHeaded  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: v100002-1.0.0-2022-12-15
by: Cladhaire [More]

Classic not updated at the moment, only retail.


LightHeaded is a very simple addon that displays quest information and comments from http://www.wowhead.com in game, eliminating the need to Alt-Tab when you get stuck on quest. This addon was inspired by qcomments and wowhead_quests, which both serve a similar purpose. Data is only loaded when you first request it, so you can be sure you're not using more memory than you need to.

I HIGHLY suggest using this addon with TomTom, another one of my addons (http://www.wowinterface.com/download...32-TomTom.html ). This allows you to simply click any coordinate in LightHeaded to add it to your map as a waypoint.

The following slash commands are valid:
  • /lh attach - Attaches the frame to the quest log
  • /lh detach - Detaches the frame, allows you to resize and move it
  • /lh sound - Toggles the open/close sound
  • /lh page - Toggles showing all comments on one page, or with multiple pages
  • /lh bgalpha <0.0-1.0> - Changes the alpha of the LH window background textures, so you can see the world.
  • /lh debug - Enables or disabled debug messages when loading quest databases
  • /lh config - Opens the LightHeaded configuration window
  • /lh autodetails - Toggle automatic opening of the Lightheaded window when clicking a quest in the objective tracker

LightHeaded now includes the English descriptions and introductory text for most of the quests in the game. This is disabled by default, but can be enabled for those players that are not playing in their native locale.

LightHeaded supports sending coordinates to TomTom, MapNotes, Cartographer2 and Cartographer3.

IMPORTANT: Addon authors that wish to use this API and data should
include the wowhead logo in the frame that displays this information.
They are kind enough to let me continue parsing their database, and we
owe them at least that much. Thank you.

Thanks for using my addons!

Updated 2022-12-15 for retail.

You could alter the code, but that's not a good solution.

Yes, it attaches to the default quest log, as the addon states in the description.

http://wowui.incgamers.com/ui.php?id=4188
http://wowui.incgamers.com/ui.php?id=4536

None worked. Theese are the most popular ones i found out of the 18,000 pool But on an earlier post where you stated


So i assumed you have tested / have someone tested it with EQL since you included EQL in the "supported by" list. So if you could just tell me what version of EQL you tested with, it'd all be great
I'll remove it from the list, and try to see if any versinos work.. but you pretty much confirm it doesn't =)

It works with the default quest log, EQL, QuestsFu, DoubleWide and Uberquest support is coming.

I updated nQuestLog to work with this new version of LightHeaded. You can find it in nQuestLog thread on the ace forums: http://www.wowace.com/forums/index.p...9923#msg109923

Enjoy.

Asking a question and supporting it with a reason for said question does not make what is said either rude OR demanding.

Rude or demanding sample:
Damn, couldn't you have posted in the DESCRIPTION when this mod's information is updated at LEAST? I won't download this thing until you do!


I don't talk like that to a dev (or anyone, for that matter). My question was concise and polite.

Perhaps I should have written:
My goodness! This mod is the very essense of what I have sought after! Only...I yearn to know how often the information within is updated! When the developer has a moment can they please tell me, for I enjoy qcomment Weekly, which as the name decries- is updated weekly?


I like to keep things to the point, so I calmly say now:
Mind your own buisiness and let the developer answer my question, as they did without any blustering at my choice of words.

Nope, I just have to run the script (which takes about an hour) and then ensure that nothing has changed in the parsing.

I don't know if it's TomTom or Lightheaded, so I posted on both.

I'd like to request an option to disable the chat output.
In other words, I want to turn off the chat saying "Lightheaded: Added xx,yy to map" and "You have arrived at coordinates xx,yy" and "Loading: LightHeaded_A20_Data".

Stuff like that is what I'd like to disable seeing in the chat window.
Although I can see how it's useful to some, to others (like me) it's just unneeded chat text.

Thanks!

They are updated as they are updated. Until I get paid to do this, its a best effort system. Assuming no massive parsing changes are required, I should be able to update the addon weekly.
